Aged care facilities manage some of the most safety-critical assets of any industry. Patient hoists, nurse call systems, defibrillators, oxygen equipment — alongside all the standard fire protection systems every building needs.
The Aged Care Quality & Safety Commission expects evidence that these assets are properly maintained. And with unannounced visits becoming more common, "we'll get it ready before they come" is no longer a viable strategy.
What Assessors Look For
Accreditation assessors want to see:
Medical Devices Are Different
Medical devices have unique compliance requirements. Calibration dates, manufacturer service schedules, serial number tracking, and condition monitoring. These don't fit neatly into a generic fire safety register.
MyAssetVault's custom field system lets you create asset types with exactly the fields you need — whether that's a defibrillator needing pad expiry dates or a hoist needing safe working load certificates.
Floor Plan Mapping Saves Lives
In aged care, knowing exactly where every defibrillator, fire extinguisher, and emergency exit is located can literally save lives. Visual floor plan mapping means new staff can quickly identify equipment locations, and emergency responders can navigate the facility efficiently.
Start Before You Need It
Don't wait for an accreditation visit to build your asset register. Start now, build it incrementally, and when assessors arrive, you'll have everything they need at your fingertips.
